About San Ysidro Health Chula Vista

San Ysidro Health has several locations, one of which is in Chula Vista, California. Here, you can find medical and behavioral health services including substance use disorder treatment and treatment for co-occurring (dual diagnosis) disorders. They treat patients 12 and older.

If you’re looking for help with substance use they can offer you medication assisted treatment. This helps you through the uncomfortable detoxification process. You can also get a psychiatric evaluation with further medication management if necessary to help with mental health issues.

The center can help with many conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and mental health problems associated with chronic medical conditions such as HIV/AIDS.

There are many options for your care including individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy. You’ll have a case manager and you’ll see a substance use disorder counselor. They also have a specialty substance use disorder clinic but you may have to go to a different location in San Diego, San Ysidro, or El Cajon.

Remember to take your health information and ID cards. They accept Medicare and Med-Cal cards and other insurance. You’ll need your driver’s license or a valid photo ID.

Accepted Insurance

San Ysidro Health Chula Vista works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Medi-Cal

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Terrible experience. I did the NIPT test and was told the results would be available by the 19th. It’s now way past that, and I’ve contacted the office over SIX times. Every single time, I was told “it will show on MyChart soon” — but nothing ever showed up. No one calls back, no one gives real answers. This is completely unacceptable. I’m pregnant, anxious, and waiting for important results, and this clinic clearly doesn’t care. If you value communication, professionalism, and basic respect for patients — go somewhere else. They’ve wasted my time and burned through my nerves. Absolutely horrible.

Trash this place is trash. I was seen for an hour and fifteen minutes, discussed a treatment plan and then they decided since my pcp was not in clinic I couldn’t be prescribed medication or have a future appointment. I already filed a grievance with my health plan. Never coming back here. Negligence walks in that building.

I made a complaint about Dr. Short as he had made inappropriate comments about my weight and how my physical appearance looked after giving birth. And unsolicited opinions. After that I never wanted to see him again. Unfortunately, I got booked with him last min for a birth control removal years later. In which all went horribly wrong. He started asking what other birth control I wanted, in which I replied none. He said so condoms? I said no I was planning on getting pregnant. I told him I’m relieved to get this nexplanon out as it has been causing lots of problems. He started to say well you should have gotten the IUD. I said no I did not like the idea of IUD. He then replied that it’s the same thing as what I have in my arm except better. I replied nope not the same as IUD goes and stays in vagina/uterus. He started to numb my arm for mini procedure to remove my nexplanon. I told him I was hard to numb and he got the lidocaine and needle and just sharply jabbed my arm without warning and said “that’s why you should have gotten the IUD” he was so fixated on my choice of birth control and couldn’t stop talking about it. To top it all off he had no proper implements to take out my nexplanon. Then he started making comments in front of me to the nurse assistant saying how that implement got stuck last time in someone else’s removal because it wasent the right one. Obviously that made me nervous! So I pulled away and said I’d wait for another day he then told me to lay bad down he wasent going to cut me just wanted to see something as he pressed the implement into my arm scaring me. I got up and said nope Do not touch me! I’m not doing this today or with you. I left a claim with the department there and of course they nodded said they understood blah blah blah they would file and follow up and nope they never did.
